Artists' Village -- The village of Finchingfield, two miles north of Great Bardfield, in Essex, looks an ideal place for artists. In fact nine well-known artists like it so much that they have made their homes there. They are: John Aldridge, Edward Bawden, George Chapman, Clifford Smith, Audrey Cruddas, Walter Hoyle, David Low, Michael Rothenstein and Marianne Straub. September 1, 1955. (Photo by Reuterphoto).
